And another H.C viewing.
Dark night of the scarecrow.
From what i gather this was originally a TV movie, if so it's one of the greats.
Has a really great atmosphere, Durant from Dark man is a mentally challenged guy who is falsely accused of killing a girl who didn't really die,and is murdered while disguised as a scarecrow... talk about having a bad day.
The scene when he get's killed is pretty haunting and powerful.
The four guys responsible get let off, so it is up to karma to sort it all out.
I had seen this when i was a kid and didn't rate it much. watching again i appreciated the creepy atmosphere, decent performances and sense of impending doom a lot more.
Hardly any blood but i found it effective, only wished there was more scarecrow action because the actual costume is creepy.Loved the final scene with the little girl.
Recommended if you're looking for atmosphere over blood.
8/10
